Just a few days ago, the AFL-CIO democratic debates aired and I assume you probably didn’t watch this (I didn’t but I got the highlights). A retired and disabled AFL-CIO union member, Steve Skvara, presented a question at the debate for John Edwards. This was the only time during the entire debate where a standing ovation was offered a participant… and it wasn’t for a politician.
I maintain that this should be answered by all politicians (dems, reps, libs, whips whatever). Any American (think your parents first) could fall into a dire situation similar to Steve with nowhere to turn for what must be considered the most basic of human rights — health care. We are the only free industrialized nation in the world that has been conditioned to think of health care as only a “benefit” and not a mandatory service. This MUST change!
What ever your opinion is, I do hope you get involved in the process somewhere along the line… even if to pass this message on to those that would listen to at least this mans plea.
